I've completed one bisque load and in the process of loading and throwing for another bisque in the next few days. With that complete, I will be back on a glazing cycle. I expect I'll be firing a glaze kiln in about two weeks...If other more pressing events don't come my way, that is. The likelihood that there will be "reds" in this glaze firing is very good....thanks for asking j.

The following chawan is glazed with a tenmoku (10% iron oxide) and then over glazed with a celadon (2% iron oxide) effectively resulting in an Amber Celadon. This can also be achieved by taking the base celadon glaze and adding an additional 4% red iron oxide. In the image below the two glazes melted together and averaged their iron content to approx. 6% RIO.

Glaze chemistry is really quite fascinating.

this honey yellowish tenmoku looks like a test i did w/ regular tenmoku and ash applied over.

glaze calc is endless

nice

i like the first celadon too !

what does the insides and foot rings look like ?

c,

If you're talking about the green celadon bowl, it's gone. I didn't get complete images of it. I know, Damn!
